Hr. Cheirnen, I understand that you have now lired a staff to ob--. tain the complete informatior on anyone in the State Department or closely related agercies, who are suspscted of being bad security risks. I am, therefore, submitting to the chairman for the attention of ths steff, a list of 25 names, which reguires further investigation. 4ll of these incividuals to the best of my lnowledge are either in the State . Department, or in closely related agencies. I understand all of them have been investigated by the Federal. Burean of Investigation and that such F.E.I. investigations have developed information, which is now in the files --. information which, according to Acheson's own "yarcsticl of loyelty" would stamp many, 1f not all of them as being bad security risks.. With thc very linited staff which I hcve available (and, as the Chair lnows, I have boon allocated no funds for this investi-ction -- I have conducted it complctoly on my own), it would take me a considorable period of tine to dovclop all of thc information on all of those indirid. uals and submit individual cases on cach of them to the camittce. I intend, of coursc, to continuo my invostigation end assomble all availoblc inforretion which canos to my attontion on any of those irdividuals, which infornation shall bo available to tho staff of this coittoe. In the moantimo, in order to got things stertod, I bolicvo the. staff might stert chocking on thcsc indivicuals. Obviously, thc staff could do a much spocdior job in thet thc filcs, which are not casily availablo to mo, will bo availablo to the cammittce. Nono of tho namcs which I now hand tho Chair cover tho cases which I covored.on tho Sonato floor. I shalr centinuo to dovolop! as much inform. possiblo and will, of coursc, submit to tho counitteo all such informatior as soon as I hevo it proporly documcntcd.
